i saw some caravaggios up close and also Francis Bacon works.
With the Caravaggio you see how he could paint grapes life size and you couldn't see a brush stroke from a handspan away. With Bacon it's the impact of his technical savagery or the focussed cruelty.
So yeah, if you get a chance, go check some out.

Sure but literature generates dynamic images in your consciousness, whereas art presents one static image. I don't even know what to do, do I just google artists and stare at their paintings on my computer? I doubt anyone ITT has anything interesting to say about art. They're just namedropping random artists whose paintings they chanced upon and glanced at online. Kinda sad to larp like that.

I think fine art as experience isn't very transferable to your computer. Most of what's being posted here is Western gallery-based art from the last few hundred years. In other words, the condition for seeing it is being on a tour of a gallery, with reference material/notes to hand. Putting aside for a second the fact that your computer won't recreate the size and the tangible brushstrokes of a real canvas, most people's 'real' encounters with art involve wandering through a garden of images which shed light on one another.

I don't know much about painting so i'm unable to pick anyone, the only thing i'm sure off is that I enjoy colour and lightning more than forms (the pleb preference I've heard) so I like caravaggio, titian, dutch painters and impressionism (constable, monet, etc...). Historical paintings do nothing for me, daily life scenes and landscapes just make me feel like I'm melting down, so comfy.
Music: Schubert to be honest, though I enjoy baroque more as a movement and I love old folk songs

Well, I had a paper that allowed me to dab on every single class that wasn't deemed necessary (like Maths, Literature, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and History) so I just didn't attend the Art classes because they were held by a boring teacher who kept rambling about his moral values instead of showing us art.
I did attend the Music class and I was fond of it. Even held two classes myself and wrote a lecture plan for a Shostakovich class for future use for the teacher (because her sources were shite)

masters like Sargent, Repin or Bouguereau certainly are unmatched in terms of craftsmanship and detail, but I always found the subject matter a bit boring. Older painters like Bosch or Brueghel are more fun, and the in terms of evocation I like modern painters like Bacon, Uglow, Samori, Ghenie more. Sickert also seems a bit underrated. Can't say much about music, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, all great in their own respect.

>painter

Titian and Pier Della Francesca.
My preference is strongly for Renaissance painting, as well as for some romantic, and some modern. Other painters I love are Mantegna, Giovanni Bellini, Paolo Ucello, Cosimo Tura, Botticelli, Raphael, Leonardo, Bronzino, Velazquez, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Bosch, Brueghel, Memling, Holbein, van Eyck, Chardin. Amongst the post-Revolution ones, Turner, Goya, Delacroix, Manet, Vallotton, Rousseau, Matisse, Cézanne, Picasso, Dali, Magritte, Tanguy, Miró, Morandi, De Chirico, Carrà, Hodler, Schiele, Watts, Spencer, Freud, Kokoschka, Klee (some), Chagall, Nerdrum, Kiefer.
I have no patience for conceptual painting and other art that tries to stand upon ad hoc theorizing rather than on its own aesthetic power. And abstract painting needs to have some connection to the real, as it does in Miró, Tanguy and De Stael, rather than random (Pollock) or merely geometric (Mondrian, who at least had a good intuition of color relations, but even here art is already descending into the the decoratory level).

>composer

Beethoven, Bach. Can't choose between them.
I also love Machaut, Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Mozart, Schubert, Rossini, Bellini, Verdi, Chopin, Wagner, Brahms, Mahler, Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky, Rachmaninov, Shostakovich, Britten, Ligeti, Schnittke, Rautavaara, Part.
I have no patience for atonalism (or maybe I do, as I've listened to lots of it, but it's almost all rubbish), and cannot enjoy pre-Baroque music, with few exceptions.

>cheese

It depends. If I am to eat the cheese only, then brie; if I am to spread it over pasta, then it's gorgonzola.

That's a very good point. Perhaps I would appreciate art more if I could see it in person. I don't think most people will really get that chance in their lives. I certainly can't afford to travel around and do so. I guess it's kind of like a similar difference between a live classical show and listening on your computer. You kind of only get a distortion, albeit an interesting one. But I don't know, I think it's unfair to insult someone for admitting his indifference to art.
